The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has awarded contract C77AEC for False Alarm Reduction Unit (FARU) services at Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park in Alachua County. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a total contract value of $254. This blanket purchase order covers permit fees and false alarm occurrence charges mandated by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and Alachua County Fire Rescue for security and fire alarm systems operating within Alachua County. The contract continues services previously provided under purchase order C59CA9.

The deliverables include annual permit fees (Alachua County Commercial Burglar at $25.00 and Alachua County Commercial Fire at $21.00) and tiered false alarm fees assessed by both the Alachua County Sheriff's Office and Alachua County Fire Rescue based on the number of occurrences, with charges ranging from $80.50 to $926.00 depending on frequency and type. Payment is contingent upon service completion, Department of Environmental Protection acceptance, and receipt of itemized invoices. The contractor must perform all services to the Department's satisfaction; failure to do so may result in non-payment or contract termination, with re-performance required at no additional cost.
